Would you, Cranly asked, in extreme danger, commit that particular sacrilege? For instance, if you lived in the penal days? I cannot answer for the past, Stephen replied. Possibly not. Then, said Cranly, you do not intend to become a protestant? I said that I had lost the faith, Stephen answered, but not that I had lost self-respect.

Was your father... Cranly interrupted himself for an instant, and then said: I don't want to pry into your family affairs. But was your father what is called well-to-do? I mean, when you were growing up? Yes, Stephen said. What was he? Cranly asked after a pause. Stephen began to enumerate glibly his father's attributes.

Stephen, preparing the words neatly in his mind, continued: Jesus, too, seems to have treated his mother with scant courtesy in public but Suarez, a jesuit theologian and Spanish gentleman, has apologized for him. Did the idea ever occur to you, Cranly asked, that Jesus was not what he pretended to be? The first person to whom that idea occurred, Stephen answered, was Jesus himself.

He broke off, pointed bluntly to the munched pulp of the fig, and said loudly: I allude to that. Um, Cranly said as before. Do you intend that now, the squat student said, as IPSO FACTO or, let us say, as so to speak? Dixon turned aside from his group, saying: Goggins was waiting for you, Glynn. He has gone round to the Adelphi to look for you and Moynihan.

I can respect that invention of the grey spouse of Satan. Hell is Roman, like the walls of the Romans, strong and ugly. But what is limbo? Put him back into the perambulator, Cranly, O'Keeffe called out. Cranly made a swift step towards Temple, halted, stamping his foot, crying as if to a fowl: Hoosh! Temple moved away nimbly. Do you know what limbo is? he cried.

Ask me rather would I suffer others to rob me, or if they did, would I call down upon them what I believe is called the chastisement of the secular arm? And would you? I think, Stephen said, it would pain me as much to do so as to be robbed. I see, Cranly said. He produced his match and began to clean the crevice between two teeth.

I am not at all sure of it, Stephen said. He is more like a son of God than a son of Mary. And is that why you will not communicate, Cranly asked, because you are not sure of that too, because you feel that the host, too, may be the body and blood of the son of God and not a wafer of bread? And because you fear that it may be? Yes, Stephen said quietly, I feel that and I also fear it.

A woman had waited in the doorway as Davin had passed by at night and, offering him a cup of milk, had all but wooed him to her bed; for Davin had the mild eyes of one who could be secret. But him no woman's eyes had wooed. His arm was taken in a strong grip and Cranly's voice said: Let us eke go. They walked southward in silence. Then Cranly said: That blithering idiot, Temple!

My dear man, said Cranly urbanely, you are incapable, do you know, absolutely incapable of thinking. But do you know, Temple went on, what I think of you and of myself compared together? Out with it, Temple! the stout student cried from the steps. Get it out in bits! Temple turned right and left, making sudden feeble gestures as he spoke. I'm a ballocks, he said, shaking his head in despair.

They crossed the quadrangle together without speaking. The bird call from SIEGFRIED whistled softly followed them from the steps of the porch. Cranly turned, and Dixon, who had whistled, called out: Where are you fellows off to? What about that game, Cranly? They parleyed in shouts across the still air about a game of billiards to be played in the Adelphi hotel.
